I am sorry if I offended anyone thanks Yanita for commenting. You are right it is hard to express tone with online conversations. Sorry if I misunderstood. I originally asked about both applications. Both under the trailer on the underbelly and under the laminate. Flcruising did a good job explainin...

I do understand the purpose of this particular type of reflective foil insulation I would be using. I have been looking and now I find that there are several types of reflective insulation out there. It is a layer of foil with a layer of bubbles sandwiched in between the foil and then a white backin...

Thanks Aaron. That is interesting but not the application I am thinking of.

I want to put in laminate in my hall, kitchen and possibly living room and want to add this foil insulation under the laminate. And I was wondering if anyone had done this and what their results were.

Thanks again

Thanks for the replies! Definately something to think about!

Has anyone ever put the foil insulation under laminate ?

Hi, last summer I asked about cold flooring in winter in my MH. I had mentioned my underbelly was sealed well and I had vented vinyl skirting. DH and I are discussing ways to make it a little warmer in here in the winter months and thought about adding a reflective foil insulation on the underbelly....

mist1953 the ill effects I am referring to are the smells that the decomposing mouse makes. Not very pleasant at all! You know, never until this year have I had troubles with that. But I guess there is always a first! MobileWayne I don't like those Victor snap traps cause I find them hard for me to ...

Thanks for the response! We are on a farm so there is crop land all around and like clockwork spring and fall the mice move in. I guess a dead mouse caught in a trap is better than a live one! I have sealed around all water lines, etc. did that when we moved in with steel wool and such....thought we...

I read through the archives and still have a few questions about mice. It is the time of year here when they start to move and we have caught a few in the past couple days. Also, my husband made the mistake of listening to a dumb salesman that told him the mice wouldn't stink if they ate this certai...

Two layers of carpet? Did you do that yourself busybee? Has anyone else seen or done this?

good point Yanita.

I got those last winter and you are right, they do help!

thanks!

My insulation and underbelly is very sound and in tact. I was afraid that its just something we mobile home owners have to deal with, I was just hoping maybe someone would have thought of something that I haven't. Radiant heat would be nice but don't they cost big $$$$???

Thanks for the replies

I am sure this is a complaint of many in the winter. Cold floors. I was thinking of replacing the carpet in the living room with laminate but am scared that it will be too cold in winter. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you remedy it? My trailer is skirted with vinyl vented skirting and...

Thanks for the responses! I will check the archives out. My current a/c works fine. Its a window a/c that is just too small for the area I am trying to cool. It worked in my last place but not here. So I know I need to find one that cools more area. But thanks, I will keep the other in mind if I nee...

I am starting to think about the summer heat. I have my big living room windows to the west and they were new a few years ago. Dual glazed I think but am not too sure. Anyways, the heat in the afternoons in summer is unbearable coming through there. I have used foil and blinds that darken the room c...

Well, changed my mind again..............lol :oops: I am in the process of taking off the border, pita I might add and am thinking maybe just paint for now on the walls until summer. I too am scared that the tiles won't hold up. DH said his concern was moisture behind the sink as well as heat from t...
